The last report that specifically mentioned the LCN (and IOC) was in 2009. However, these reports often use generic terms like "criminal enterprises" which could include an LCN family. This latest report is similar to the last several in recent years, mentioning the same primary groups in the U.S. drug trade. As far as the LCN goes, while the it is defined more as organized crime as opposed to the DTO's the DEA focuses on, it is true that the few small remaining families outside New York are hardly a blip on the radar in terms of drug trafficking at this point. The New York families still have the most involvement, obviously, but even they have been marginalized for years now.

Thank for posting. I noticed they no longer have a specific section for outlaw motorcycle clubs. They now group them in with street gangs. I wonder if DEA sees them as less of a threat or they are just reorganizing the report. Kind of surprising with an increase in OMC activity especially in the northeast and Midwest.

Street gangs, prison gangs, and outlaw motorcyle gangs are considered the "bedrock of the drug trade," i.e. they are behind most of the retail drug sales.

You'd probably want to look at drug seizures, smuggling levels, etc. across all drugs to make a judgement. As far as heroin itself, it seems there is a cyclical aspect to how popular drugs are and heroin seems to have picked up in recent years.

[tmarotta]

Actually according to the report heroin seizures are down from last year and the DEA predicts heroin smuggling will go down and the trafficking on fentanyl and other synthetic opioids will continue to go up. Furthermore the purity of heroin is down over the past few years while the presence of synthetic opioids is up.

In Detroit, we had a news report about Crystal meth is for the first time being brought all over. And ik in my neighborhood it's true.

As well as, the clinics here have posters saying be careful of fentanyl. And I actually know a few ppl who are no longer dropping dirty on probation bc the HEROIN they buy off the streets is no longer heroin. And fentynal doesn't show up apparently.

They actually risk it.... Point is heroin on the streets is not even heroin any more

Were in the month of febrary of the 2020 man. Course its down at this point from last year. The report shows a spike in 2018 from 2016 and then it went up again in 2019.
No ones talking about purity. The report is covering how much quantity is making its way to U.S. It increased in last 4 years. The fuck you saying?

The fencing was the dumbest possible waste of money. All it does is make the cartels and human traffickers richer. The overwhelming majority of drugs are smuggled through ports of entry, not in the middle of the goddamn desert where the gov’t is building these walls and fences. The only thing the fences do is give the appearance that smuggling is more difficult, when in actuality it’s not. So it allows the cartels and traffickers to simply charge more for their services.

You should be in charge a drug enforcement at the border. Not some skirt.

Jeremy I hear what your saying about the guys going to probation and not testing positive for heroin and getting away cause it's fentanyl but here in CT. , and federal probation the drug tests haven't been that vague in years there mostly 12 panel cups breaking down the opiates ( oxycodone,heroin ,fetanyl,methadone,suboxone) and then the other drugs I always thought it was cause of the opiate problem nowadays or guys getting a dirty and telling there P.O.they took a perc for there back but there really a junkie .....there not even sending guys to jail anymore on the state level at least just outpatient and then jail if your a lost cause which a high pct. Are ,talk about a huge waste of money in the end in almost all cases just repeat offenders ..drug laws have changed a lot around my way I thank God I never had that problem I have my weed card and I don't even burn heavy like I used mainly to relax late-night but I I know too many good people that shot has ruined
